How to Pick the Right Color for Your Shutters
When choosing window treatments for your new home or renovation project, it’s often difficult to determine what color your pieces should be. Should they be a neutral addition to the room, or pack a punch of color? I think it’s safe to say that curtains and shades are openly accepted and appreciated in a variety of colors. For the purpose of the article, let’s make things a little more difficult and talk about how to determine what color your shutters should be.
Steps
Determine whether your shutters will be on the interior or exterior
of your home.
If your shutters will be on the outside of your home, choose materials that you know they are durable and will be able to withstand the elements.
Decide whether you’d like your window treatments to be statement pieces or to neutrally support the decorative themes already present in your home (If there’s already a lot of big eye-catchers in the room, you may want to opt for something more neutral, whereas if everything blends together, you might want to play up a specific bold color).
Consider whether any colors stick out as primary or accent colors in the room where you're installing shutters. If you already have one color that’s well represented, pick another color that works well within the room (perhaps it’s already present in smaller amounts), and use your window treatments to play up that accent color.
Think about the mood you want to convey in the room: dark, rich colors convey romance, brighter blues and greens can have a playful effect, and pastels help to sooth and relax your guests.
Consider different rooms in your house when making design decisions. Try to find balance (not every room in your house should showcase neon-colored drapes) while also continuing themes (neon-colored drapes in one room and modern, structured furniture in the next makes a seamless transition).
If you're still stuck, consider the region you live in, or a culture you celebrate, as a basis for a color palette.
Choose a window treatment company that won't limit your design ideas. Some companies specialize in patterns, engraving, or even stained glass as embellishments, so make sure you research your options and take time to consider your desired effect before making a purchase.

Tips
For outdoor shutters, lighter colors are less forgiving when it comes to wear and tear, but also don’t attract as much heat as a darker shade.
The materials you choose may limit your color choices, so consult your manufacturer before making any final decisions.
